High-Temperature Grease OEM Supply: What Buyers Should Verify Before Ordering
High-Temperature Grease OEM Supply: What Buyers Should Verify Before Ordering
XINGANG's lubricating grease production line supports high-temperature grease supply for industrial customers.
High-temperature grease is not a single commodity. It is a performance category that combines thickener chemistry, base oil selection, extreme-pressure additives, and manufacturing control. When a buyer moves from evaluation to execution, the question changes from “which grease should I use?” to “which manufacturer can supply it consistently, in the required volume, and with the needed customization?” This guide explains how Hangzhou Xingang Lubrication Technology Co., Ltd. (XINGANG) structures high-temperature grease supply, and what procurement teams should verify before placing an order.
The Problem: High-Temperature Grease Must Survive Real Operating Conditions
At elevated temperatures, grease can soften, oxidize, or lose its structure. Bearings and sliding components in continuous casting, rolling mills, kiln cars, gearboxes, conveyors, and vibrating screens often operate under high-temperature, heavy load, impact load, and humid or water-splash conditions. In these situations, a grease must maintain film strength, resist degradation, and remain compatible with the lubrication system.
XINGANG's high-temperature grease products are designed for centralized lubrication systems and manual greasing environments. This matters because a supplier that understands both automated delivery and manual application is better positioned to support a plant's actual lubrication workflow.
Common failure modes in high-temperature lubrication include grease softening, oxidation, oil separation, and water washout. A poorly matched grease can lead to bearing damage, unplanned downtime, and higher maintenance cost. That is why the purchasing decision should involve both the product specification and the supplier's ability to control batch-to-batch quality.
Industry Background: Why High-Temperature Grease Sourcing Is Changing
The global high-temperature grease market was valued at approximately USD 28.04 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 48.71 billion by 2035. Asia Pacific led the market with 38% of global share in 2025, and the automotive segment represented 42.6% of demand.
Thickener choices are also shifting. Lithium and lithium complex greases remain the most widely used types, together accounting for 56.9% of global production in 2024. Calcium sulfonate complex grease production grew by 7.7% in 2024, driven by heavy-duty applications that need water resistance. At the same time, polyurea greases are increasingly specified in EV wheel bearings and turbine yaw drives because of oxidation resistance across repeated temperature cycles.
China's finished lubricant exports rose by 10% to 260,000 metric tons in 2024, reflecting the growing importance of overseas supply. Lithium prices surged 80% to 120% between 2021 and 2023, which has pushed some manufacturers to consider polyurea and calcium sulfonate alternatives. For buyers, this means supply stability and formulation flexibility are as important as initial price.
Two standards are useful reference points for high-temperature grease selection: ASTM D3336 evaluates grease life in ball bearings at elevated temperatures up to 400°F/204°C, and DIN 51502 classifies greases by maximum operating temperature. These standards help translate a product's temperature claim into a measurable test method.

A Closer Look at the High-Temperature Grease Product Families
Lithium grease is the general-purpose option in the XINGANG range. It uses lithium as the thickener and mineral oil as the base fluid, with a working temperature range of -20 to 120°C and a dropping point of at least 180°C. It is suitable for multi-purpose, automotive, metallurgy, and power tool applications.
High-temperature lithium complex grease is classified in the high-temperature extreme-pressure lithium complex grease category. The XG/HP and XG/HP-R models operate from -20 to 180°C, have a dropping point of 300°C, and deliver a PD value of 315 kgf. These products are positioned for automotive and metallurgy applications where extreme-pressure protection is required.
High-temperature polyurea grease is supplied in the XG/U family, including XG/U1, XG/U2, XG/U5, XG/U6, XG/U10, XG/U17, and XG/U18. Working temperature ranges from -20 to 200°C with a dropping point of 260°C. The polyurea chemistry is used in metallurgy, chemical, textile, printing and dyeing, automobile, mining, oil field, coast defence, sugaring, paper making, and plastic industries.
High-temperature calcium sulfonate complex grease uses a calcium sulfonate complex thickener. XG/C4 and XG/C5 operate from -20 to 250°C, have a dropping point of 330°C, and reach a PD value of 500 kgf. These products are suited to mining, machinery, and automotive applications, with the heavy-duty and water-resistance profile associated with calcium sulfonate complex technology.

Step-by-Step: How to Qualify a High-Temperature Grease Supplier Before Execution
- Define the operating envelope. Identify maximum temperature, load type, impact conditions, water exposure, and lubrication method. XINGANG's greases are designed for high-temperature, heavy load, impact load, and humid or water-splash conditions, and for centralized and manual greasing.
- Match thickener chemistry to the application. Lithium grease suits general multipurpose use. Lithium complex grease adds extreme-pressure performance for automotive and metallurgy. Polyurea grease covers high-temperature industrial environments. Calcium sulfonate complex grease is suited to heavy-duty mining, machinery, and automotive applications with high water resistance requirements.
- Verify certifications and test methods. Check IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 where relevant. Ask how batches are tested. XINGANG uses 100% testing.
- Confirm OEM scope. If you need custom packaging or stickers, confirm the supplier provides OEM production services, the MOQ, and lead time. XINGANG's OEM MOQ is 2,000 kgs, lead time is 10–20 days, and monthly OEM capacity is 3,000 tons.
- Align procurement terms. For standard product orders, XINGANG lists MOQ of 200 kg, delivery terms FOB/CIF, payment by T/T, and acceptance through pre-shipment testing.
- Plan after-sales support. Confirm what happens after delivery. XINGANG's support covers remote technical formula guidance, on-site usage consultation, quality problem compensation and replacement support, and application solution matching.
This sequence is execution-focused. It moves from application data to supplier capability, then to commercial terms and post-delivery support, before a large order is placed.
